"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1773669005 advisory.
- Issue summary: Calling PKCS12_get_friendlyname() function on a maliciously crafted PKCS#12 file with a
BMPString (UTF-16BE) friendly name containing non-ASCII BMP code point can trigger a one byte write before
the allocated buffer. Impact summary: The out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption which can have
various consequences including a Denial of Service. The OPENSSL_uni2utf8() function performs a two-pass
conversion of a PKCS#12 BMPString (UTF-16BE) to UTF-8. In the second pass, when emitting UTF-8 bytes, the
helper function bmp_to_utf8() incorrectly forwards the remaining UTF-16 source byte count as the
destination buffer capacity to UTF8_putc(). For BMP code points above U+07FF, UTF-8 requires three bytes,
but the forwarded capacity can be just two bytes. UTF8_putc() then returns -1, and this negative value is
added to the output length without validation, causing the length to become negative. The subsequent
trailing NUL byte is then written at a negative offset, causing write outside of heap allocated buffer.
The vulnerability is reachable via the public PKCS12_get_friendlyname() API when parsing attacker-
controlled PKCS#12 files. While PKCS12_parse() uses a different code path that avoids this issue,
PKCS12_get_friendlyname() directly invokes the vulnerable function. Exploitation requires an attacker to
provide a malicious PKCS#12 file to be parsed by the application and the attacker can just trigger a one
zero byte write before the allocated buffer. For that reason the issue was assessed as Low severity
according to our Security Policy. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this
issue, as the PKCS#12 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4,
3.3, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not affected by this issue.
(CVE-2025-69419)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
